This is a FUN car to drive!!! . I purchased this car 2 years ago from a friend in the local Porsche Club. He was living in Southern California and found this rust free 914 in the 1990s. His neighbor owned the original Renegade Hybrids Company so the car was converted to a chevrolet small block V8 in the 1996-97 time frame using a proven Renegade kit. The goals of the project were to have a reliable car, good performance, and no overheating problems.
The 914 body is all original. It is very solid. The car was repainted and looks very good. The targa top is painted black. The Interior is in very good condition. The original seats are in good shape. There are a few cracks in the dash board. It has an aftermarket sport steering wheel.
Drivetrain - The Porsche 901 gearbox works great. Starting out in 2nd gear is recommended to avoid "over torquing" 1st gear. These 901 transmissions are reliable up to 325 hp if not abused. A KEP - Kennedy Engineering Products Clutch and Pressure plate adapt the transmission to the engine. The Chevrolet engine was built specifically for the 914. Using a 305 block to reduce torque (and therefore save the transmission) , the engine uses a higher duration cam, and ported stock heads to achieve around 280-300 horsepower. This is a great combination for low maintenance and performance. It really moves!!!
The car is nice, fun to drive, starts, stops and puts a smile on your face.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
